Yesterday afternoon at work... about 2 o'clock I walked outsideto water a few potted plants and low and behold I thoughtI heard the Killy killy killy call of a Kestrel.I looked over into the tree where they USED to always sitand low and behold there was none other than a Kestrel.

I ran upstairs to my office and grabbed my camera...yes!I always have it with me. and started shooting throughthe rather old blue tinted windows of the Historic Buildingwhere our funeral home is located.

I found when I got home that I could crop much better withthe DSLR than the old Sony H50 and retain some detail.

Soon the Male landed on the top of the building

and the crop did confirm it was the male.

As she waited in the tree he flew away and soon....

He was back carrying a mouse in his talons....Looks like a courting gesture to me...butlet's wait and see.Click to see the mouse...

Quality of these pictures suffer when taken through windowsand really far away, but hopefully if they nest I will haveopportunity to get close up and personal.

About Me

I am a country girl at heart and love nature. I love the opportunity to photograph birds and wildlife that wander into my viewfinder. From backyard antics to trips to lakes, mountains, country settings and city scapes.. I capture the moments for you my blogger friends to enjoy. I call this my 'window on nature' Enjoy!
